When using MSEdgeDriver.exe 1st user sees two browser windows while the 2nd user sees nothing

Version 3.5.4 

I have this code below. When you launch it, it launches good, but if anyone else on the same host launches the script, that person's browser jumps on your session.

 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
;#NoTrayIcon
; non standard UDF's
#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"
#include "wd_capabilities.au3"

 

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession

SetupEdge()
;$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"binary": $browser, "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false}}}}'
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
$citrix = _WD_Navigate($sSession, $citrixurl)

Func SetupEdge()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\msedgedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    ;_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\msedge.log"')
   $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "msedge", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'
     ;Local $sCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}'
    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'msedge')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('excludeSwitches', 'enable-automation')
    _WD_CapabilitiesDump(@ScriptLineNumber) ; dump current Capabilities setting to console - only for testing in this demo
    Local $sCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()
    Return $sCapabilities
EndFunc   ;==>SetupEdge
 

 

I found this discussion but I think that was not resolved:

WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (II) - Page 45 - AutoIt General Help and Support - AutoIt Forums (autoitscript.com)

 

Thank you for any help.

You didn't say, but I assume that your users are connecting to a server via Remote Desktop and running the script from there. Is that correct? Did you try the code posted by @stamyuka to automatically select an alternate port for each user?

[Boboyka]

Thanks for response, @Danp2.

Yes exactly, two users are connected remotely with their own sessions. When the second launches the script, the browser session of that person goes to the first.

No, when I did what @stamyuka wrote, I'm getting ports table in separate window and that window just stays there. Looks like ConnView.au3 just launches that table instead of retrieving a data.

I've tried to copy msedgedriver.exe into user's home dir to launch it out from there but that didn't help either, although two users are launching it from their own driver file.

Also, when I use different port other than 9515, driver doesn't launch anything but shows 9515 in console.

Can you show your code?

Here, this one below pops up ports table:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
;#NoTrayIcon
; non standard UDF's
#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"
#include "wd_capabilities.au3"
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
#include <ConnView.au3>

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession
;#cs;===========
Local $portEdge = 9515
 $aArray = _CV_GetExtendedTcpTable()
While 1
   $_Port = _ArrayFindAll($aArray, $portEdge, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2)
   If @error Then
      ExitLoop
   Else
      $portEdge = $portEdge + 1
   EndIf
WEnd

;#ce;=============
SetupEdge()

_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
$citrix = _WD_Navigate($sSession, $citrixurl)

Func SetupEdge()
   ; Copy file to a user's directory
   $TempDir="C:\Users\"& @UserName
    FileCopy("C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\msedgedriver.exe", $TempDir & "\EdgeDriver\", $FC_OVERWRITE + $FC_CREATEPATH)
    $EdgeExe = $TempDir & "\EdgeDriver\msedgedriver.exe"
    _WD_Option('Driver', $EdgeExe)
    _WD_Option('Port', $portEdge)
   $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"w3c": true, "useAutomationExtension": false, "args":["start-maximized", "disable-infobars"] }}}}'
    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'msedge')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('excludeSwitches', 'enable-automation')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd("acceptInsecureCerts", True)
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd("useAutomationExtension", false) ;,"setExperimentalOption": {"useAutomationExtension", false} Somehow this key is not supported
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd("args", "start-maximized")
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd("args", "disable-infobars")

You need to strip out the code you don't need in the #include <ConnView.au3>

You need to add. 

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --port=' & $portEdge & ' --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\edge.log"')

Are you sure you don't want to run?

$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sCapabilities)

Thoese are the ones you are returning however, you are creating the session with $sDesiredCapabilities

 

Couple other things that might help. Make sure you don't already have edge open befor you run the script. 

Rename the msedgedriver.exe for each user. I.E. (msedgedriver1.exe and msedgedriver2.exe)

Thank you for your answers.

This makes ports to work.

I've tried to run with $sCapabilities but I couldn't make it work. What would be correct way to declare and put options in the function for $sCapabilities?

I am copying edge driver with different name but now I get this error, which closes Edge after it launched. I think it is not related to code or options.

I appreciate all of your responses. I didn't know, Edge was upgraded. When I looked at microsoft page, they have driver for Mac and not MS, lol. I'm going with lower patch version which works for me.

But still, I couldn't make it work with $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sCapabilities). The driver is launching and shows successful, but no Edge browser comes out.

Although, Edge is launching only with $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)

Thank you!
